repository layout mechanics

[Jim Anderson <ja...@jandernet.com>]

There are suggestions in the online book about how to layout the  
repository, but nowhere have I seen an indication of the "mechanics"  
involved. In other words, once I've decided how I want to position the  
trunk, branches, and tags directories how do I, as Captain Kirk used  
to say to Mr. Spock, "make it so"? Surely when creating a new project  
I don't need to contact the administrator and ask him to set up  
theappropriate directory structure.

Thanks,
Jim

They're just directories. Make them any way you like:

with remote repository URLs "svn mkdir --parents protocol://hostname/ 
repo/project1/{trunk,branches,tags} -m 'making structure for project1'"

or check out a working copy of the empty repository, make the  
directories and commit, "svn checkout -N protocol://hostname/repo &&  
svn mkdir --parents project1/{trunk,branches,tags} && svn commit -m  
'making structure for project1'"

or make the structure locally and import it, "mkdir project1 project1/ 
{trunk,branches,tags} && svn import project1 protocol://hostname/repo/ 
project1 -m 'making structure for project1' && rm -rf project1"

(these are all from memory so please forgive any typos)
